Teams of the Year (SAAFL)

I've heard for the Div 1 team, each club was asked to submit its best 3 players for the year. Then the team will be picked form the submitted players. That is bloody ridiculous, the team will probably be made up of 15 onballers spread across the ground. Almost better to just not have the team at all.

4 players from Salisbury Nth in the side so don't know if your mail is right on this one.

Clubs notified yesterday, 3 from Gepps Cross I believe, Smith, Allocca and Challen, which is interesting as Challen was not in the nominated players

Chris Clonan bit hard done by?

Understatement of the year...I'd have Clonan in my side before all three of the others....

Turner fo Henley can play a bit, i like his chances.

I've just had word in desperation the Sportsbeat team have been sent out to pick a
TEAM OF THE YEAR in each grade how pathetic!

Have also heard apparently some of the coaches are pissed off. Some reckon a guy called Al Williams, came to see them and showed them his TEAM OF THE YEAR - they said he has no idea and has not even got guys at the right end of the field.

Disgraceful surely some people get paid enough to think of your own ideas

and how he hell would they know what goes on in the lower grades i thik they may aswell scrap the idea as i believe it will just turn in to a laughing stock.

Laughing stock alright, its something that requires time & thought from the opening minor round game to the last, not when the League 1st hears of it happening in the Footy Budget late in the year & now is just trying to out do the budgets idea.
I have no-doubt the Budgets Team Of The Year will out- do any team the Sportsbeat or 5RPH come up with.
I know for a fact their are some insiders working hard for ( Sortsbeat & 5RPH ) to find out a little of the Budgets team no-doubt coz they know nothing about the comp their supposedly promoting quite embarrassing really!
A certain person is definately making a fool of himself at Amateur House trying to compete when this Football Budget, they should be working alongside each other as the editor from the Budget has always wanted.

[carey]

here here no mercy i'm sure infact almost certain the clubs will speak loud and clear for next year for the budget and the league to work together for the good of the game rather than the good of some ones inner pockets!

Not too sure if this has been posted yet, but here's the team of the year from the SAAFL

Sportsbeat ... pah!

I tried to get them to send a couple of issues from this year during May, seeing at though I cannot just go down the road and get one like you guys and girls can ... AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE!!!

The Football Budget is aeons better anyway!

[Shirtfront]

Always plenty of debate about these teams. Can't say i agree with Challen at CHB or Butler even in the team. But hey, i'm not a selector.

why should the Amateur League bow to the desires of 1 person?

[playon]

so what does everyone think of the team? looks like they picked players in the positions they play

Not too sure about that! Scott Challen has played all but 2 games at CHF so being selected at CHB throws your idea out the door!!!

The story about the team did say that CHB was the hardest to pick and also that he played CHF as well.

Who do you think should have been picked at CHB?

I have stated before that i think Stevens from Broadview has been probably the form CHB of the last 3 or 4 years and from watching him this year has had another good year. Mc Gregor and Spencer are the others but have had a injury riddled year. The bloke from ROCS, Burch i think his name is looked to go ok this year too. I would have thought they would have picked one of these guys and played Challen on the bench as a back up CHF if they looked seriously at the team.

[Shirtfront]

But hey, the team doesn't play so really its only a Stone Grill and certificate, plus some beers for those not playing in finals. Actually..........., that sounds pretty good at the moment!!!!

Who' asking them to bow?
I just thought its for the benefit of Amateur Football in the end, isn't that what the Leagues about? We know what book is the best by far so support it & work with it instead of copying it for the silly sportsbeat.
C'mon Punk its obvious someone has his nose out of joint at Amateur house with the budgets editor.
Carey i'm in agreeance with your post, i'm just confused who's inner pockets your talking about? maybe the person who has his nose out of joint?

personality clash would be an understatement (from what I'm hearing).

Well its the Amateur Leagues loss but i really feel sorry for the clubs as its their expenses.

Shane Harris for Henley was very unlucky not to be picked in the sportsbeat team of the year for 2008.
I'd like to know what the selectors look for when they select a side?
Shanes a bloke that goes about his business with no fuss & 9 times out of 10 he comes out in front of his opponent.
He might not have a name like the selectors look for but 9 times out of 10 he certainly delivers.

Smart, Young, Grocke, Reidy, Slater, Pederson, Gates - i dont think the selectors chose name players this year!..... Though got to give credit where credit is due with the name players that were chosen, were the best players this year, Cutting, Jordan, Coard, Smith, Turner.
